Me and my -ah- mother and father - and a
grandmother and a grandfather -
were driving through
the desert, at dawn, and a truck load of Indian
workers had either hit another car, or just - I don't
know what happened
- but there were Indians scattered
all over the highway, bleeding to death.
So the car pulls up and stops. That was the first time
I tasted fear. I
musta' been about four - like a child is
like a flower, his head is just
floating in the
breeze, man.
The reaction I get now thinking about it,
looking
back - is that the souls of the ghosts of those dead
Indians...maybe one or two of 'em...were just
running around freaking
out, and just leaped into my
soul. And they're still in there.
Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young
child's fragile eggshell mind.
Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and
the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody
red sun of Phantastic L.A.
Blood screams her brain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born
in the birth if a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union
Blood on
the rise, it's following me.
Indian, Indian what did you die for?
Indian says, nothing at all.
